The consortium of investors looking to acquire Forbes has removed Sun Group as lead investor in the bid over concerns with its ties to Russia, sources told Axios.
have raised concerns about the deal's ability to clear U.S. regulatory review. Forbes hoped to close the $800 million agreement by the end of March.The move to have Sun Group dropped as lead investor was meant to minimize the role and influence that Sun Group vice chair Shiv Khemka would play in the agreement, one source noted. Khemka built his business and has lived in Russia for decades.
Instead, the consortium is targeting high-net individuals in the U.S., like tech billionaires, to come in as investors so that U.S.-based firms and individuals make up the majority of funds raised for the bid. One individual that the group has spoken with is CEO, chair and co-founder of Salesforce Marc Benioff. While Benioff doesn’t plan to participate in the bid, he has been involved in discussions, two sources noted. Benioff also owns Time, and Time's new CEO, Jessica Sibley, was formerly the chief operating officer of Forbes.
